Was an American Airlines flight evacuated due to a foul-smelling fart?

Someone allegedly passed gas on an American Airlines plane scheduled to travel from Charlotte, North Carolina to Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.

According to reports, passengers became ill and many had to evacuate the plane.

Can you imagine being the person responsible for this? It’s hard enough admitted you’re the one that dealt a stinky toot… but to be responsible for one powerful enough to clear out a loaded airplane??? How mortifying!

American Airlines is denying that the evacuation was due to a fart (they’re probably embarrassed too!).
